Soliloquy, I'm thinking about you sweetie.

I've been sitting, tabulating, all weekend for recruitment and I can say it's not pleasant. Don't get me wrong I love helping out and being with my sisters, but recruitment "isn't fun" (so to speak). Girls get hurt (I think on both sides). One day a PNM has a wonderful conversation and is thought of highly and the next she has a stifeled conversation with the rusher and she is dropped. It bites the big one. I can't imagine how you are feeling (hell I can't imagine how any of the PNM's at ASU are feeling).

Just keep your head high and know that you are worth it and you are good enough and formal recruitment is a tough, stressful process and that if COR is available go for it. COR is so much more informal.

Plus, shouldn't your recruitment counselor be keeping you in the loop. I know Pan-hel wants to celebrate with their new members but they need to remember the girls who went bidless. IMPO.

I was browsing through the stories since I had missed so much, and ASUADPi has an excellent excellent point. Recruitment is so difficult for the PNM's but also for the sisters, and we definitely got our hearts broken by some girls that chose not to come back or sign our bids, especially seeing them new member another org and see them change, it hurts. At my school, we called COR, COB and we almost always got the majority of the sisters through this, because the PNM's were able to get to know us, which is so important.
